In Part 2 of my review of the Sony CCD-VX3 Hi8 camcorder, I thought I’d indulge in a bit more detail about the formats and brands that ultimately seeded the emerging prosumer market, and offered options, features, and higher quality optics and sensors that were embraced by videomakers who wanted more than lo-fi VHS.

Coming in mid-August is a montage of test footage, but onwards to Part 2 - 3 CCDs, Baby!

Small teaser for the very belated Part 2 review of the Sony CCD-VX3 Hi8 - 3CCDs, Baby! - which delves a bit more into prosumer gear, and some key tape formats that preceded Hi8.

The blog will be up this weekend, and in mid-August I'll have a lengthy video review featuring footage shot with the VX3, and a summary of the camera's current state.

Slowly building a library of shots featuring slightly abstract foliage, water, and other moving textures for backgrounds in other projects & uses. The full video runs 4 mins., with shifting colour streams. Shot with a Pentax K5, a Helios 44-2 lens, and the camera's contrast filter - and nothing else. Straight render from 1080p AVI to MP4. No AI bu****it.

To view in proper widescreen turn your phone 90 degrees leftward.
